Dearly love to get hold of some of these 50s and 60s Flinders St station platform announcements. "Dundar nee nonga tahran now a dapartering ona da plutfum seeks stupping alla da staysherns to a dunder nee nong. Stund clar plus" All said at a hundred miles an hour!Garahbara

That bloke used to work at Box Hill . He gave me a clip over the ears because I used to use my home made square key to open the gates and let the passengers off the platform while he was flagging the train off.

"Borks-ill, Leelydale tran stoppin al stayshuns"
